I cannot land an IT job! Got laid off from Pepsi (3rd time!!) and my job was given to an Indian from InfoSys. They will work 70 hours a week for half the pay...lowers the standard of living for everyone. I have two kids and student loans to pay...hard to compete with a 22 year old who has no family obligation and is willing to work 12 hour days 6 and 7 days a week. I'm not here for just a few years to make a quick buck - this is my home! So discouraging!! PepsiCo KEEPS laying off Americans and replacing them with people who just arrived here a week prior!! I REFUSE to buy Pepsi and Frito-Lay products as a result of this! The CEO is from India and her brother-in-law owns InfoSys!! Talk about an unethical conflict of interest!!! Where is the S.E.C. ???

Yup! Air Canada moved their payroll department to India several years ago, and Sears moved their call centre to the Philippines about 3 years ago.. many jobs were lost in Canada because of this policy to get cheap labour at the cost of Canadian incomes… I’m sure there are more examples, but I just cannot think of them right now.

What really makes me angry is when I hear that tax dollars the government collects from its citizens, including the people who lost their jobs to this policy, are going to fund the training for these overseas employees. So in affect, those that lost their jobs are contributing to the funding for training others to do their jobs. That is just not right.

Born out of HCL, among the pioneers of the computer revolution in India, HCL Infosystems began its journey producing micro-computing calculators back in 1976. Since then, from introducing India's first home PC to developing what's arguably considered the country's most impressive mobile distribution strategy in 1996, the company has achieved many a milestone. But it has been a bumpy ride, including when it was forced to change business models to survive in a pre-liberalized environment.Ajai Chowdhry, founder, HCL and chairman and CEO, HCL Infosystems,

I feel for you. Can't lose your job to a foreigner if you're doing it for a defense contractor. Have you looked in to jobs that require some level of clearance? Best of luck.

Same problem, I couldn't maintain a position with a certain IT Education company, because they outsourced the development to India and Bulgaria.... they work all hours with their friends ie: 24/7 development, worked for less than half my usual expected pay and whipped my Aussie arse.... and let me tell ya, i tried to keep up... called sleep deprivation and a near divorce...

I'm sorry to hear that,I will join your boycott of these traitors,PEPSI N, FRITO-LAY.This TRAITOR needs to be behind bars!

All of this is an OUTRAGE! Every time I call for something such as an insurance company or anything like that, I get an Indian person. Gosh they have a strong accent and I have to ask them to repeat a lot. It drives me crazy! This has to stop. Come on "big wigs", you need to change the Country fast and I mean Freakin' fast now! :(

I'm a paramedic, look before you leap. Check on the Availability of nursing jobs in your area and nation wide. There are numerous paramedics out of work in the midwest. With the possible "Obummer Care" coming, there isnt enough medics, ambulances to take care of everyone that didnt have insurance in the past, but will have it soon. They should be hiring like crazy, but arent.

I hope this trend ends eventually...in the meantime, I'm thinking of going into nursing...still researching...looking for something in demand that is less likely to be outsourced...
